My best friend

I still talk to you like you’re here

Like you didn’t disappear

Five years gone, still feels the same

I still whisper your name

You were my safe place, my home

My best friend I didn’t know

Pre-Chorus

And I wore my cap and gown

But I kept looking for you in the crowd

Chorus

You didn’t make it to my graduation

But I felt you there in every situation

In every tear I tried to hide

You were right there by my side

I still carry you where I stand

My nana, my heart, my best friend

⸻

Verse 2

I smile but it hurts sometimes

Wish I could call you one more time

Tell you how far I’ve come since then

Hear you say you’re proud again

I know you’d say don’t be scared

You’d still be right there

Pre-Chorus

And even when I feel alone

I swear I still feel you at home

Chorus

You didn’t make it to my graduation

But I felt you there in every situation

In every step I had to take

You were there in every mistake

I still carry you where I stand

My nana, my heart, my best friend
